what $5 trillion tax cut? i don't know anything about a $5 trillion tax cut. pay no attention to that tax cut under the carpet behind the curtain. when he's asked how he'll cut the deficit, he says he can make the math work by eliminating local public funding for pbs. now, by the way, this is not new. this is what he's been saying every time he's asked the question. well, we can cut out pbs. so for all you moms and kids out there, don't worry. somebody's finally getting tough on big bird. you know, who knew he was driving our deficit? so we're going after -- he's decided we're going after big bird and elmo's making a run for the border and oscar's hiding out in the trash can and governor romney wants wall street to run wild again but bring down the hammer on sesame street. look, that is not leadership. that's salesmanship. we can't afford it. we can't afford to double down on top down economics. we can't afford another round of tax cuts for the wealthy. we can't afford to roll back regulations on wall street banks or on insurance companies. we can't afford to
